Heh – it’s been a really busy morning (and will continue to be an insane day), but I’m posting this because we’ve already gotten over a dozen emails about it, and I want to stem the future tide. Today’s Questionable Content (a webcomic I’d never heard of before, but apparently one widely read by the…

The HSE Project Team sent along Warmongers, a short musical piece based off Halo, which will be used on the soundtrack of an upcoming RTS game (release is scheduled for mid-2007). Give it a listen!(Louis Wu 20:39:33 UTC)

Turtle Mann submitted the trailer for his fourth Montage to the MPRRS – and their biggest complaint was that it was too short. Go watch – WMP9 format is 23.4 mb, QuickTime format is 25 mb. Nice synchronization!(Louis Wu 19:33:10 UTC)

Our collection of Artist Galleries just expanded – Mike Hill now has a page here. Mike’s work has made the news page a few times – but the news moves quickly around these parts, and it’s great to finally have a resting place for this gorgeous stuff. There’s a new piece for your perusal -…

Grey Wolf noticed an interview with LiLPoison, the 8-year-old Halo wonder, on New York 1; the clip is watchable online, if you’re not in the NY area. Amazing kid!(Louis Wu 18:27:08 UTC)

Congratulations to This Spartan Life, whose ‘Can’t Buy Me Net’ video blog just won the Pulver.com ‘Save the Net’ viral ad contest (and a cool $1000). Round II is coming up – and the prize has been upped to $5000! Good luck, Chris!(Louis Wu 18:02:45 UTC)

Over at MLGPro.com, there’s an interview with Team MoBDeep, a relative unknown that came out of nowhere to finish in the top 8 in Dallas. Go read about who they are. Thanks, 3Suns.(Louis Wu 13:15:14 UTC)

Elnea recently started a drawing class, and one of the assignments was to create 6 sketches in 30 minutes, every day. One of hers recently was a Spartan – I love it. (Louis Wu 11:50:26 UTC)

CAFLORES, of the PromethianGuard, wrote to point out a new comic they’ve started, called ‘Tactic and Cevr… and Caf’. The first episode is up in their forum.(Louis Wu 11:25:32 UTC)

Heh – over at Google Video, there was an episode of Google Current that aired about a month ago that looked at the subject of ‘net neutrality’ – it talked about how this concept (which is concerned with a possible ‘tiered’ internet, in which higher-paying customers get faster bandwidth) has really only exploded in the…

A new Community Spotlight has gone live over at Bungie.net; KP asked a question and a half of Narcogen, and let the guy behind Rampancy.net handle the other 8000 words of the interview. Check it out to see some of the motivation behind one of the longest-running Halo fansites on the web, along with some…

TheSneak pointed out a YTMND funni that… actually is funny. Go watch.(Louis Wu 21:34:55 UTC)

XerxdeeJ stopped by to point out a Reader’s Poll on his Tied the Leader blog; are the weapons glitches that were in the news last week going to remain in your arsenal during custom games (or any non-matchmaking games, really)… or are you going to try and ‘go straight’ across the board? Sound off!(Louis Wu…

Testicleez (what sort of name is that, anyway?) posted a series of images showing what happened to his poor Master Chief action figure while he was away from his desk. Let this be a lesson… don’t leave action figures around unattended!(Louis Wu 19:41:47 UTC)

Team SWAT tourney being organized over at Games In Action, a Seventh Column chapter – you need to join the group to sign up, but that’s pretty simple to do if you have a B.net account. There are cash prizes for the top spots. Thanks, marshall (who saw it at Bungie.net).(Louis Wu 19:02:24 UTC)

Stuntmutt takes a look at the limitations of the existing feedback system on Xbox Live… and what might NOT be a limitation for some, in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 16:23:39 UTC)

In the past few days, we’ve heard about a couple of different projects involving Halo Trading Cards; oriol003 set up a small tutorial showing how to make your own cards (visit his site for a template), and Dain Ironfoot sent along a link to a pretty in-depth website devoted to a customizable game built in…

Random 15-Year-Old noticed a video on YouTube that purports to be a Halo Intervention – family and friends come together to help a Halo addict remember what’s important in his life. I have a little trouble believing this isn’t a parody… but I guess you never know.(Louis Wu 10:57:08 UTC)

Slacker Entertainment has released Heroes & Heretics Episode 7, Operation: Clubbed Seal for sponsors (free versions coming in a few days, as usual). Minimal humor this time around, but a finely-executed strategic rescue, and a powerful setup for the next episode. Which you might not see for a little bit; check this page for details…
